1676. Building meaningful sentences in class

It’s of a paramount importance that learning and
acquiring a foreign language would serve the purpose of communication with
other people.

When working on grammar in classes we can implement an activity
that is useful to make sentences and messages with sense.

Write on the
chalkboard the words of a sentence in a jumbled and scrambled way. Ask your
students, by turns for example, to put the words into the correct order to mean
something.

That activity can be helpful for all ages and all levels of the target
language, English in our case.

Another way to implement this activity with
young kids is to write words on stripes of paper, big enough for every student
in the classroom to see them, and put those words into a correct order,
sticking those labels of paper or card with plasticine™ or blu-tac™. It’s cool
and different students can contribute to making up the sentence. / Photo from: bricomania
